    In Peru, there is currently inadequate management and information regarding the disposal of expired or unused medication waste in households. The objective was to determine the relationship between the level of knowledge and the method of disposing of expired or unused medication waste in households in the Los Olivos district. The methodology was non-experimental, cross-sectional, and quantitative, and it was tested in 302 households. Results showed that 91.4% of households exhibited poor disposal practices for medication waste and had a low level of knowledge. Regarding public health, 92% had a high level of knowledge. In terms of pharmaceutical forms, 64.3% of households had poor disposal methods due to low knowledge, while 37.4% had a medium level of knowledge of medication waste storage and used good disposal methods. In conclusion, a significant proportion of the population lacks knowledge about the proper handling and disposal of expired or unused medications, which can have negative effects on the health and environment of the residents of the Los Olivos district.
